Sydney - Hundreds of women overran an Australian department store on Monday to snatch up Stella McCartney's new collection, tearing clothes off mannequins and each other in a chaotic stampede for style.Around 300 fashion-hungry customers, some of whom queued for more than two-and-a-half hours before the doors opened, rushed a Target department store in Sydney where McCartney's limited edition special collection went on sale."They were taking clothes off mannequins, they were just tearing clothes off other people - it was just absurd," said one bemused customer after the frenzy left shelves bare of the British designer's fashion fare.Long queues also built up outside other selected Target stores in Australia that are carrying the collection, with shoppers stripping racks bare of McCartney items within 10 minutes of opening time.Nothing costs more than $200 in the 42-piece collection that features signature "Stella looks" for a fraction of the regular price.
